Additional Information

Usually only tow-ins when it is really pumping due to the strong currents. Huge A-frame peaks break top-to-bottom over a shallow, diamond-shaped sandbar forming thick, fast and hollow waves.Broken boards and road rash are common. Just maintaining position on the peak is like paddling upriver, and if you get caught inside on a big day without your board, you're swimming for your life.

Atmosphere

Pump House gets packed when it's going off which isn't often, but the crowd consists of locals taking off (or towing in) or pros on the really big days.

General

Closest thing to a big wave spot Floridas got. Has been nicknamed East Coast Teahupoo due to it being a super heavy barreling left in extremely shallow water.
